Like I said - the reports lack details - and they contradict each other on basics like rifle versus handgun.

Brownsville police received a call of a 15-year-old boy with a handgun at Cummings Middle School about 8 a.m. local time Wednesday, department spokesman J.J. Trevino said.

The boy aimed at officers after they confronted him in a hallway, prompting officers to fire, Trevino said.

"The subject pointed the weapon at officers, which in turn, the officers had to use deadly force," Trevino said.

A school district official said the boy was armed with a rifle.

The student was shot three times and rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, said Cameron County Justice of the Peace Kip Johnson Hodge.

Now the motive and race are unexplained: white, black, mexican, gang member, drug dealer, facebook bully victim.
